Buses will be given more priority over cars along four main routes into Bristol city centre under new plans. Major changes are planned on the four key routes to make buses more punctual and journey times much quicker.
The planned works, which would likely include new bus lanes, will mean big changes to the Portway, Bath Road, the A38, and the A37 and A4018. These will also include upgrades for pedestrians and cyclists, in a multi-million pound bid to get drivers out of their cars.
The works to the four key bus routes form part of Bristol City Council’s £200 million programme of changes to the city’s transport network. Bristol was granted the cash by the government to spend up until 2027, called the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement.
